Also, as the number of programs increases,so does the need for qualified teachers to instruct those courses.1 The majority of K-12 teachersdo not have a background in engineering; more times than not, they do not know what anengineer does, nor do they have knowledge of the different disciplines of engineering, thuslymaking it difficult to effectively encourage their students to pursue engineering as a career.2,3One challenge for schools wanting to better implement the “E” in STEM is the training requiredof teachers to effectively teach engineering in the classroom.This paper examines 76 students who completed engineering courses in a targeted STEMAcademy program over four years of high school.

Reasons for attending a community college vary, but the primary reason is toearn credits towards a bachelor’s degree.Many STEM careers now require a 4-year degree [1]. Over the past two decades, the NationalResearch Council (NRC) has called on community colleges to broaden participation and expandpathways to STEM degrees to meet the goal of the President’s Council of Advisors on Scienceand Technology [8] of an additional one million STEM professionals to be produced in the UnitedStates by 2025.Research on

Unfortunately,many students overlook crucial aspects such as job salary and availability when selecting theirundergraduate major. While personal interest often guides this choice, studies reveal that familialand peer pressure also plays a substantial role [2,3], leading students to pursue majors that maynot align with their passion or offer favorable job prospects and income.
